ucodegen, I thought big server farms are still temp controlled? Unlimited online backup: http://www.backblaze.com/. There’s no way I can run my own service for that kind of price. Not to mention keeping it on 24/7 and the energy usage.
WRT to where the industry is heading. That’s just MHO. I can totally be wrong and we’ll go back to where we were 10 years ago and every device is isolated or storage will be dirt cheap where it’ll be in everything and every device you have will have all the data you have. Which would put us to purely peer-2-peer vs client server. We’ll just have to wait and see. I just feel a little safer knowing that even if my local back up fail or my house burns down, my pictures and videos (truly priceless stuff) are still safe. Financial stuff can be rectified if something bad happen, but if I lose all of my family photos/videos, it’ll be lost forever.
Was the Iranians’ computer not plug into the internet AND no one put a USB stick in it? I.E. it’s being used purely to produce data and not to consume data?
